the

American Campus Character
Among such characters as the
Campus Cop of Yale and the Orange
Man of Harvard, Pierre Whltntng,
venerable custodian of the Administration building, takes his place as
the representative of the University
of Kentucky.
Pierre's long service with the University is soon to be told in print in
the New York Telegram. His story
will be one of a scries of feature articles concerning famous characters
on American campuses. The story
which elevates Pierre to his new positionfar different from his usual
world of brooms and mops has
been sent to the New York newspaper by Miss Helen King, of the
Publicity Bureau, in response to a
request for a story concerning the
University's most famous character.
Pierre Whltning's biography reads
like a history of the University. But
it could be no other way, for Pierre
has been with the University since
its very beginning.

College Without

Grades, Credits, Is
Now Recommended

It was Pierre, then a little barefoot boy, who carried the first
.bucket of water to laborers as they
began work on the first building for
'the University then known as the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
of Kentucky. With that Job Pierre
began his long record of service, a
record to which he is adding even
today.
"Mr. President say I have been at
the University for 52 years, so I
guess I has," Pierre tells those who
seek to learn exactly how long he
has been at his present Job.
To Pierre all the fuss and bother
about his being the University's
most famous character means little,
and although he doesn't say so In
Just so many words he manages to
convey the general Impression to
those who question him, that the
less said, the better. You sec Pierre
has work to do, and he believes in
doing It. And besides, he has a
record to sustain.
There ought to be lesson In that.

Cupolas controlled
from the laboratory
White hot rivers of metal, pouring from big
cupolas in Crane foundries, arc even more
thoroughly analyzed, more carefully watched,
than the drinking water pouring from a faucet
in a

city.

Because correct chemical ingredients in valve
metals arc as essential to absolute safety and
right functioning of a piping installation as
pure water to human health, Crane Co. has
always maintained laboratory control of its
cupolas.

This means that experts in the metallurgical
and physical testing of metals are responsible
for the quality of every valve and fitting turned
out. It means that tensile strength, yield point,
elongation, and reduction of area of test bars
taken every hour of the day's run are known to
laboratory and cupola chemists.

From specifications of raw materials to final

the background for this knowledge makes an
absorbing story. It is titled Pioneering in Science.
